(Sorry about yours... :/ ) My son was about three at the time, and one morning was crying for me to help him. i called from the other room what he needed and he said he couldn't get out of bed. Being the youngest of three boys with in four years, he had the lucky mattress-on-the-floor-under-the-other-bed place to sleep, and I couldn't imagine why he needed help! Well, he "slept" with the silly putty (i did not know this) and it had completely adhered his pajamas to the sheet! He really was a stuck little man! We had to take him out of the clothes, and then throw everything away. That stuff was seriously mis-marketed! It has NASA strength! We had a funny silly putty experience, though not humiliating.

On our second date, me being funny and all, I pulled out a can of silly string and got him good. Suddenly, he was crying out in pain "I can't see, it hurts so bad!" I totally thought he was kidding and was dying of laughter, but it turned out he was serious. He had blurry vision all evening and said the stinging lasted for a couple days. I still can't help laughing every time I think about it. Needless to say, my husband doesn't allow silly string in our home for fear that the children will be blinded!

Almost 50 years ago (!) I left my Silly Putty where I shouldn't have and my grandmother sat on it in her new slacks. I guess I will forever feel guilty about that preschool error of mine!

However, this story made me think about an incident just the other day where I was standing in line and the lady in front of me had a rip in her pants. It was right in the middle of her bottom area and I was a bit embarrassed to have noticed it, lol. For a fleeting second I thought about not telling her, because you know, why was I looking at her tush? But then I thought, "What if she goes into another store with her undies showing like that?" So I told her and felt much better for it. She was able to take off her jacket and tie it around her waist to cover herself up. She didn't thank me or even give me a smile, but I'll just chalk that up to her being totally embarrassed, lol. So, all that to say, if you had passed by me with Silly Putty on your bum, I would have told ya'! :-) I don’t have a silly putty story to share, or for that matter, any childhood toy trauma.

I ran it through the washer and dryer not knowing about the silly putty and the sleeping bag was never the same again. That was about 6 years ago. I haven't bought it since.
